Using a mix of technical presentations and case studies, the Workshop compares and analyses the best digital production and post-production workflows, with a special focus on a low film budget (200’000 € to 1 mio €) and a “standard” budget (around 2 mio €).
Participants may submit their own feature/documentary projects in pre-production (from low to high budgets) to be pitched and discussed at the Workshop.

The last part of the Workshop deals with the new digital distribution workflow, from the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) to the theater, and includes panel discussions on issues related to distribution, exhibition and digital archiving.
